Wokingham racing driver Bobby Trundley has been confirmed as a GT4 driver for Team BRIT once again in 2023.
Bobby, who was diagnosed with severe autism as a child, is a driver for Team BRIT which is the world’s only competitive team of all-disabled racing drivers.
For the second year running, Bobby will compete alongside his teammate Aaron Morgan in the British GT Championship – one of the most hotly contested endurance racing championships in Europe. His season will begin in April at Oulton Park.
Last year, the pair made history by becoming the first ever all-disabled team to compete in the British GT Championship, and finished in an impressive second place in the GT4 Pro-Am class.
23-year-old Bobby was diagnosed with severe autism as a child and went on to become a five-time national karting champion before joining Team BRIT in 2019. 31-year-old Aaron broke his back in a motocross accident when he was 15 and was the youngest ever disabled person to achieve a national ‘B’ race licence when he got back into motorsport following his accident.
Bobby and Aaron race the team’s Mclaren 570S GT4. The car is fitted with the team’s world-leading hand controls which enable Aaron to drive with Bobby and on equal terms with their competitors.
The team’s long-term goal is to become the first ever all-disabled team to race in the Le Mans 24 hour, and it supports people with physical and psychological challenges in accessing motorsport.
The team’s other eight drivers are competing in the Britcar Trophy Championship, British Endurance Championship and C1 series.
Bobby said: “I’m incredibly proud to be selected to drive for Team BRIT once again.
“2022 was a fantastic year of learning and development for us, ending with a P2 class finish. This year we’ll be looking to build on our experience and pushing for class wins.
“A massive thank you to everyone who has supported me in my racing so far. Looking back at my karting days, I never dreamed I’d be racing in a Mclaren at this level of GT4 racing and I just want to keep going, pushing forward on to Le Mans.”
